Let's keep an eye on this story and make sure we get OpenMoko included in the process! Many people on these lists have requested and talked about this feature, but the fact that it would be very difficult without support from the telcos has frequently come up. Here's our opportunity!<br><br>

tregetour writes with a link to a New York Times article penned by David Pogue about a quiet announcement last week by T-Mobile. It has nothing to do with the iPhone, but it could still be a welcome revolution for users plagued by high cellphone bills. &quot;Here&#39;s the basic idea. If you&#39;re willing to pay $10 a month on top of a regular T-Mobile voice plan, you get a special cellphone. When you&#39;re out and about, it works like any other phone; calls eat up your monthly minutes as usual. But when it&#39;s in a Wi-Fi wireless Internet hot spot, this phone offers a huge bargain: all your calls are free. You use it and dial it the same as always -- you still get call hold, caller ID, three-way calling and all the other features -- but now your voice is carried by the Internet rather than the cellular airwaves.&quot; He goes on to explain further benefits of the system, and describes the wireless routers that the company will be pushing with the service. The only thing missing: an estimate of when it will hit stores.<p><a href="http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/07/05/1815218&amp;from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p>
